My book about modern Blackness is more timely than ever. The New York Times Book Review said: “One of the most acutely observed accounts of what it is like to be young, black and middle-class in contemporary America. Touré inventively draws on a range of evidence — autobiography, music, art, interviews, comedy and popular social analysis — for a performance carried through with unsparing honesty, in a distinctive voice that is often humorous, occasionally wary and defensive, but always intensely engaging.” Click here for an autographed copy of Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness?
